D Double E, born Darren Dixon in 1980, is a British MC and rapper hailing from Forest Gate, London. Renowned for his unique delivery and skill as a lyricist, he is considered a pioneer within the UK grime scene. Coming up through the early days of grime and UK garage, D Double E was a key member of the collective N.A.S.T.Y Crew before forming the Newham Generals duo with fellow artist Footsie. His distinctively sharp, forceful delivery, complemented by his signature ad-libs like "Bluku! Bluku!", has made him a standout figure in the genre.

Over the years, D Double E has solidified his status as an influential voice in the UK's urban music landscape. His capacity to adapt to the evolving sounds within grime and UK rap is evidenced by his recent releases, spanning from gritty, bass-heavy tracks like "Mobb Mentality" and "No Reign, No Flowers" to more melodically infused songs such as "Ghetto Love Story" and "Together." D Double E’s versatility shines on collaborative tracks like "Man Like Me," where he teams up with Jaykae, underscoring his cross-generational appeal. While songs like "Merry Christmas" showcase his ability to engage with listeners in a light-hearted way, tracks like "It’s Me Again" remind his audience of his unfaltering presence and relevance in the music industry.
